I got my LADY PIPE TODAY! But I have a question!

[Kendra]

I got my lady pipe today and am really excited. But, I'm confused about the battery charger that came with it. I got it from eastmall and he sent me extra batteries, which makes me very happy, but the battery charger doesn't have a spring thing on there to show me that it's the "negative" side. It looks the same on both sides and isn't marked. I suppose it would be negative side DOWN, right?

Maybe a dumb question. Sorry.

ALso, I'm not getting lots of vapor yet. Uh oh. I've only taken about 20 hits so far. Maybe it's not primed yet.

I just went through this! the plus of the battery points to the top, or pointy, end of the charger. If you sat it in a table, plus is up. I got my pipe 2 days ago and it actually does tell you this somewhere in the book or on the Central Trade website. Negative side down, you are correct.

I got vapor right away. You might be sure you have a nice wet cart in there. I love the pipe so far. Better than anything else I have tried. The pipe really used all the juice in the cart, right down to the end. I am really impressed, SO FAR!

hi kendra,

Yes - that's the right way, flat side down (raised side nearest the charger led). You'll find that it takes a good deal of effort to snap a battery in, also.

I'm a bit surprised about lack of vape. With a hot battery it chucks it out. What are you vaping?

[Kendra]

Thank you so much, both of you.

I am vaping a mix of High Janty boost and High Johnson Creek strawberry. But, you know what? I accidentally put some menthol in there, too, and had to throw out that cartridge filling. I hope it gets out of this atomizer soon.

I am getting some vapor, but not like the videos, but I am not really getting a throat hit and I need the throat hit. Really, I've probably only taken 40 hits or so though. Maybe it's coming soon?

Could be one of those pesky atomizer issues too.

Lu,
What do you mean "pesky" atomizer. Is there something specific you're talking about or just a general concern about atomizers acting weird?

I just changed atomizers and nothing yet. And, then I take a draw off my 901 and it's like heaven. Then back to the pipe-- very slight. Gosh, this is disappointing. I hope this improves.

Silly question - but you've given the battery a good long charge (3-4 hrs)?

[Rob]

I just gave my first batt a full charge, and have vaped about 1/2 cart and topped off with TC. It's vaping pretty well, not London fog well, but as good as, or slightly better than my 901 with a much lighter draw. hopefully by the end of the day, I will have the atomizer broken in, and will be able to report that it vapes like a dragon.

Uh, no. . . it seemed charged, lol. I guess my answer is silly, but your question is reasonable.

Okay, I have a battery in the charger now. I'll try it in a few hours.

Thank you! I'll check back in here later.

There seems to be a problem with some atomizers making a good connection with the battery. So try this (it worked for me): At the batt end of the atomizer, take a paperclip, put it in that little hole and pull up on it. Do this all the way around til it's pulled up some, and even. Then try using it again.

Just make sure you don't pull too hard as there's a piece of plastic under there that can snap off. You'll probably see it when you're doing this. Just play with it a little....you'll get the hang of it. I did!

Let us know how it goes.
